I had to laugh at how Carl hesitated to say "Channel Fireball" then decided to say "Fireball Channel" instead just to not their competitor get a free mention.
The original art for Birds of Paradise was meant for Tropical Island. Art direction back then wasn't quite what it is today, so when they got the art back and saw how prevalent the bird was, they just decided to whip up a card to still make use of the picture and made a new Tropical Island in-house. Jesper Myrfors was the art director back then, and this wasn't the only time he had to patch up their art assignments for whatever reason. I believe Circle of Protection: Black has a similar story behind it, but I can't quite remember it. The originally assigned art was way late or something, so they had to throw something together at the last minute.
Last year I managed to retrieve several boxes of cards from the loft space of my mum’s garage that builders had built around 🤦♂️ I didn’t really know what was in them, so imagine my surprise when I found soooo much loveliness including a Cradle! They were cards I had drafted back in the day
Before watching the video, my guesses are, in some order: Natural Order, Survival of the Fittest, Primeval Titan, Tarmogoyf and Deathrite Shaman if we count the hybrid cards, if not then either Golgari Grave Troll or Hermit Druid. EDIT: I forgot about Channel and Oath facepalm.
There's a lot of really, really strong green cards. All of those are great choices. I would also consider Genesis/Hypergenesis and Protean Hulk. They also mentioned Fastbond in their article, which seems particularly more powerful than the ones this video is about.
@@spoopyboi1882 Except that Pod is just slow Natural Order, etc. There's usually a better version, even though that particular version (Pod) makes a combo in some situations.
12:15 Ackshyually; according to a quick scryfall search, there are only 5652 green cards, not 6000; and if we're only counting monogreen cards, that goes down even further to 4131 :P
I'm a Green mage and probably my all-time favourite card is Life from the Loam, which is sort of a one-card combo or at least a one-card engine. I don't think I can justify rating Loam higher than any of the bangers on this list other than maybe Llanowar Elves. I've watched enough Legacy to know that Up the Beanstalk is a seriously screwed up card and seeing it on this list is not as mad as you might think. And yeah I remember Goyf as this just super iconic powerhouse card that suddenly was starting to be outclassed by...a big dumb fish from Fate Reforged? That's right, Gurmag Angler was the first sign that Goyf was in trouble, and then Fatal Push really killed the Goyf and then they've printed nastier threats and now it's just a memory/meme card. It does my green heart good to see so many great honourable mentions in the comments such as Natural Order, Prime Time, Fastbond, Survival of the Fittest, etc. Video put a smile on my face. One big sandwich for Carl, Thoralf, and for Jamin. Thanks boys.
I know I'm late to this video, but my immediate thought in response to "What if Cardmarket was green instead of blue?" was "then they probably wouldn't be as good at getting you cards." (Yes, I know in some situations green has more consistent card draw. My brain makes jokes on tropes, not always reality)
A lot of the cards in the honorable mention are stronger than potition 3-5 in the list and even some that didn't make the honorable mentions: Fastbond, Golgari Grave Troll, Primeval Titan, Hermit Druid, Survival of the Fittest, Natural Order.
I can agree with channel and up the beanstalk being up their but here’s a few other than would fit better. Switch Llanowar elf’s with noble hierarch or delighted halfling, Food chain, Primeval titan, Hypergenesis, Protean hulk, Defence of heart,
I remember back in the day, I won one of my first tournaments with an Oath of Druids / Serra Avatar / Spirit Link / Altar of Dementia deck. Nothing like milling my opponent for 35-40 in a turn.
2:50 with the right opening hand, you can use dorks like these to play a six drop on turn three. Play forest, dork, untap, play forest, two dorks, untap, play forest, cast six drop. Of course this is still risky as an opponent can just counter it or kill it
most of the time I don't kill mana dorks because I find it better to destroy everything they play with the mana dorks & there is a limit to how much removal you can fit in most decks.
I was really missing Primeval Titan here until I saw all the other great suggestions here in the comments that didn't make it either. Must've been a tough choice.
Ooooh, this is tough. As a former diehard green mage, I feel like I should have good guesses, but… nothing’s coming to mind beyond Channel and Fastbond.
I wish you would made like honorable mentions for: Craterhoof behemoth, Primeval titan, Natural order, rancor and Thragtusk. Green is color of creatures after all.
I'm honestly a little surprised that Protean Hulk isn't in the honorable mentions. Sure, the card itself isn't the busted part, but it's such a busted enabler for cheating stuff in. Thinking about in now, putting Flash Hulk in with Up the Beanstalk...oh man, that's just mean.
But Tharmogoyf would just die if all graveyards are empty when you play it. So they had to make it x/x+1. That happens rarely in modern because so many people play fetch lands and a 1 mana instant or sorcery on their first turn etc., but it could still happen and would make Tharmogoyf really suck in that situation because it would just sit in your hand until something goes into a graveyard. It would also die if someone cracks a Relic of Progenitus etc. So I think it being x/x+1 is better. It's also really hard to kill with lightning bolt, because the toughness increases off lightning bolt if it is the first instant in a graveyard before the damage gets applied.
7:10 Tribal is a card type so that it can have a subtype, and it shares those subtypes with creatures. If tribal was a subtype, then it would need to have a subsubtype and I think that would be more confusing. It would also itself still be a subtype not only shared between instants and sorceries, but also enchantments and artifacts, which is a problem because those don't normally share subtypes, so you'd have a sorcery/instant version of tribal, and an enchantment version of tribal and an artifact version of tribal, which then each would share subsubtypes with eachother as well as with creatures. Instead, it's simply a type that shares its subtypes with creatures. Just like instant and sorceries share subtypes. Although trap only seems to occur on instants and lesson only on sorceries.
Oath decks in old extended played three creatures, morphling, spike feedeer to gain life and spike weaver as fog. And they play gaea's blesseing to never deck themself.
If this ain't just Forest and 4 cards that sat some variety of "search your library for # basic land cards and put them into play. Shuffle your library" I'm not interested
You don't mention that the reason Morphling was so good included the fact that the rules were quite different anyway. A morphling in a world where combat damage goes on the stack made it, in practice, an untargetable 5/6 flier. Even if we get rid of creature inflation, today's Morphling is not 5/6
if you want to play channel then try MTGA timeless format. Some cards are restricted to 1 copy but no cards are banned. Unless they change the format, there is no ban list. So play Lots of ways to find restricted cards, Like demonic bargain. You to can make a deck that could win turn 2 if u have the perfect hand. Maybe even turn 1.
Oath of Druids is powerful, but it was banned in most formats. Survival of the Fittest got more tournament wins back in the day. That’s the green card I have the most fond memories playing. Type 2, extended, legacy. Would be interested if they unban it in legacy one day. My playset it still waiting.
oath of druid is clearly #1, I'd put sylvan library #2, natural order #3 and craterhoof #4, for #5 mb wall of roots or spike feeder. There are lots of fair decks that rekt up the beanstalk decks, this archetype is not resilient at all to fair magic imho, you just deck yourself if your oponent is consistently 1:2 or 1:3 you.
Hold up, why does Channel get you so many colourless?? It says you can pay 1 and get 1, not X...?????? A mountain and a lotus is still only 2 mana abilities, or am I missing some obtuse rule?
"Any time you could activate a mana ability" is not equivalent to "whenever you activate a mana ability." It means any time you could legally within the rules of the game activate a mana ability for the rest of the turn, you can instead do this. You choose the total mana cost for the spell (the regular cost for non-X spells like Emrakul) you want to cast before putting it onto the stack. Back in the day there were more specific timing rules about mana abilities (we had the card type Mana Source once upon a time before they all got errata to Instant) but these days you can add mana to your mana pool (by activating a mana ability) at nearly any time not specifically restricted by a card effect. What that functionally means is, unless something is specifically preventing you from activating a mana ability, you *always* "could activate a mana ability" so you can do it as many times as you want until you win or go to 0 (for the stylish seppuku).
@@kylegonewild thanks for the clarification dude. i wish i'd known that so many years ago, there was so many time i've played that effect wrong and my opponent didn't know either hahaha
I agree that goyf shouldn’t be on the list, but how is it not a goodstuff staple? Its been a major player in modern, legacy, and even vintage midrange decks.
It's from a feel-good UK film called Pride, where a London-based LGBTQ community in the 80s teams up with a group of striking Welsh miners to help each other fight for their respective causes. It reads "Pits & Perverts, Lesbians and Gay Men Support the Miners 1984-1985". It's a little weird to have pervert on it 😅 but it's from a heartwarming place
Black should probably be 1. Necropotence 2) dark ritual 3) demonic tutor 4) orcish bowmasters 5) reanimate Honorable mentions to grief, animate dead, entomb, archon/griselbrand, thoughtseize, Sheoldred, etc… I’m probably missing a few but outside of contract from below which is the best magic card of all time, I think the top 3 are pretty indisputable. In general I think mana acceleration/rituals are getting better and better as wizards continues to powercreep on threats while simultaneously avoiding printing rituals/mana acceleration to the point that dark ritual, on its current trajectory will probably be the best black card in the game.
@@kylegonewild idk about that. In my top 5 list the only new card is Bowmasters. Animate dead, thoughtseize, entomb, griselbrand, goryos vengeance, and even Liliana of the veil are substantially better than Gary.
I disagree with Up the Beanstalk being on this list because it isn't an inherently strong/archetype-defining card like the other cards on this list or the honorable mentions. It's only busted when paired with design mistake cards the reduce their own costs (Leyline Binding, Evoke Elementals, Scion of Draco, etc.). I don't think that a card should be considered one of the best if its "brokeness" relies being paired with other pushed and meta-defining cards. When Up the Beanstalk is included in any regular deck it's just another green card draw enchantment in the vein of Garruk's Uprising or Guardian Project and is totally fair, unlike the other cards on this list which are vital synergy/ramp pieces or form the backbone of the combo/deck.
Guys, I love your content. But not involvong Survival of the Fitteat (not even in the honorablw mentions I think) is criminal. I would even dare to say it should be inested of Up the Beanstalk or Tarmagoyf by SoTF. Channell, Fastbond, Oath of Druids, Survival of the Fittest. The Unholy green fourtet.

I had to laugh at how Carl hesitated to say "Channel Fireball" then decided to say "Fireball Channel" instead just to not their competitor get a free mention.
Channel Fireball is the name of the original combo, and the company took that as their name to reference that combo.
The original art for Birds of Paradise was meant for Tropical Island. Art direction back then wasn't quite what it is today, so when they got the art back and saw how prevalent the bird was, they just decided to whip up a card to still make use of the picture and made a new Tropical Island in-house.

Was that why volcanic Island didn't exist in alpha but did in beta?
I feel like Birds of Paradise beats all three elves at their job, back when it was printed it an instant staple
Plus birds dual-wielding a sword and a hammer are pretty annoying. (Not THAT hammer... the Loxodon Warhammer. Birds need to fly to smash face.)
For sure, its just objectivley better (unless youre elf-balling of course)
BoP, or (ig)noble hierarch, or Delighted Halfling, all feel better for that spot than the elves, unless you're specifically in elf tribal
“Number 6000 will surprise you” killed me

Strongest to Weakest
1) Channel
2) Natural Order
3) Oath of Druids
4) Tarmogoyf
5) Birthing Pod
id replace oath with BOP, protean hulk, or maybe survival and move it down to 5, i dont think oath is just generally as powerful as either of those 4.
I've found the Jund Player!
Sylvan library top 3 ez
Oath is a vintage deck. Channel isn’t. Natural order is barely in legacy. You’re also missing fastbond and survival of the fittest.
@@asteros6387Of these five cards, only one is the core of a vintage deck, and that’s oath.
Natural order is much more powerful than up the beanstalk.

3. Oath of druids
4. Fastbond
5. Hermit Druid

I think The Great Henge and Sylvan Library deserved honorable mentions at least.
My favorite is probably Natural Order, but I've been playing canlander alot lately.
Also as an aside, it was usually always correct to bolt the bird because most players would keep a greedy hand if they opened with a dork.
